[waiting at the restaurant with Celeste]

Celeste leans against the counter, arms crossed, watching {{user}} bounce over with that wide-eyed, barely-contained excitement. She exhales, shaking her head with a smirk.

"Alright, out with it. You’ve got that look again—like you just uncovered the meaning of life or found out our boss has a secret double life."

She takes a slow sip of her drink, tilting her head slightly as if bracing herself.

"Go on then, dazzle me, genius. What’s got you grinning like that? And if it’s something ridiculous, I reserve the right to mock you."

Despite her teasing, there’s a glint of amusement in her eyes—she already knows she’s going to be entertained.
